New Japanese Figurines Gives us a First Look at The Last Jedi Porglets

A few days ago during The Star Wars Show, Kathleen Kennedy revealed that The Last Jedi will not only have the adorable porg creatures but also little baby porgs. Now a Japanese site revealed how these little porglets will look in the movie via a bunch of new figurines of characters from The Last Jedi. Check them out.

 

 

The figurines are about 7 cm tall and show characters from the movie in a comic way with slightly bigger heads and great detail for the size.

 

The first wave will be released on November 16 and will feature the characters Rey, Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, a Caretaker and an Elite Praetorian guard. This is the first time we have seen a toy of the Caretakers.

 

 

The second wave will be released on November 23 and will feature Poe Dameron, Kylo Ren, BB-8, Executioner Stormtrooper and another Praetorian guard.

 

 

The third wave will be available in December and will feature little baby porgs, which were recently discussed by Kathleen Kennedy on The Star Wars Show. Other characters from that line will be First Order Stormtrooper, TIE Fighter Pilot, General Leia and Maz Kanata.

 

 

 

And here’s a better look at the little fury balls porglets:

 

 

It is not clear if you will be able to buy these figurines at the moment. The Japanese site says that they will be given as prizes in different amusement events only in Japan.

 

 

You can read more about the porgs and the caretakers here and here.

 

 

Special thanks to sleemo for the find.

    I like the Porgs. Much needed relief, what with everyone venturing to the dark side.

    I think the Porgs are adorable. I just hope this obsession with them doesn’t ruin it. Too much of a good thing and all that…

    Gotta say, I think that Luke there looks like The Dude from “The Big Lebowski”. He’s upset because his rug was in the Jedi Temple and it really tied the room together.

    Sigh. I was initially kinda onboard for the porgs – sure they’re cute and are designed for maximum licensing appeal, but it’s true that there’s a certain amount of tradition of cute things in these films so, whatever, it’s all good – but I think….I think I actually hate them now. Phew, that feels good to say. I mean, to the extent that everytime I see that one in the Falcon, I have an urge to drop-kick it. More to the point, I hate how they’re being shoved out front and center of the marketing, and I hate the implied “squeee!”‘s being spilled out in virtual ink over them across the net. It feels like people having been given their marching orders from LFL to ‘LOVE THEM, GODDAMN IT! LOOOOOOOVE THEEEEEEEMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!’, akin to an episode of RLM’s “Nerd Crew”.

      Wow. This is something you never do. Claim you liked something (Which you never did in the first place) then decide you actually don’t like it.

      Totally unexpected and unprecedented. How exceedingly original of you. I am shocked. Stunned. And so f-ing bored.

      Re: “initially kinda onboard”
      Same here. Thought they could be a cute side distraction, but seeing them emphasized screaming alongside Chewie (“oh look it has same colouring as the Wookie) in trailer made me nervous. Now this push everywhere in marketing. Totally shoe-horned in for kids appeal/toys.

    I wonder if those Porgs are some life cycle stage in development which leads to those Caretakers. Similar to the stages in development of an insect on earth egg -> Porg -> Caretaker – they have physical similarities which can just be attributed to the animals evolving to their environment or just a creature design team preferring that general shape.

    • November 7, 2017 at 10:18 pm

      No. It has already been stated that the caretakers evolved from the porgs, and they branched off in to sentient beings. Think of it this way….

      Caretaker : Porg :: Human : Chimp

        Oooh are they gonna do it in slow mo with big hype orchestra and zoom in as he pulls back his robe and uses the force to pull it off his belt? Oh wait no they did that queer stuff with yoda

    Ack those porglets look kinda disgusting.

    Also, it’s interesting how much the new canon is emphasizing the connection between force users and samurai. Those praetorian guards look especially of a samurai theme. Cool stuff

    Given the specific posters vomiting hate for Porgs, I’ve decided I really like them, and hope to see more of them in both the expanded universe media and in Episode IX!

    I’d forgotten about the caretakers/nuns… they’ve been left out of most of the marketing. I wonder if they’ll have much of a role, or just be in the background.

    Thank you Kathleen Kennedy, this is what Star Wars and the fans need! I hope you stay on for the next 20 years as head of Lucasfilm!

        Just my gut feeling – based on nothing but my ignorance…I think Kathleen Kennedy wants to do the best she can with Star Wars. She knows she has HEAVY shoes to fill – and she’s doing the best she can with what she knows how to do…..But she’s a producer – not a writer, director, or creator. I give her all the credit in the world for her efforts – but only time will tell if those efforts will result in a satisfying extension of the story we all love so much. Intent counts for something, but in the world we live in ultimately results matter the most. I ask – So if she’s so unqualified to take over for Lucas – who is?

    so i guess Finn isn’t important enough to get a toy lol

    • November 8, 2017 at 8:10 pm
      Permalink

      Wasn’t there a long running joke of Finn “peg warmer” toys in the stores that had trouble selling? Perhaps that’s why we don’t see Finn here with these toys. Star Wars is a cash cow that wants to maximize profits as much as possible (nothing wrong with that, as long as we the fans are still provided a quality product) – so it’s not that surprising that we don’t see him here if he’s not a big seller. Not saying it’s right or wrong, good or bad. It just is. It’s just business – nothing personal. Jar Jar suffered the same fate. But I do find it hard to believe that any of the marketing people would think the caretakers would sell over Finn. And we don’t see Chewbacca or 3PO here either, so….

        I’ve bought all the comics’ first issues but have no interest in the toys in themselves. There is something up if Finn merchandise is deemed a bad investment on the part of the makers though and I would never consider it just business. (There hasn’t been a Finn comic has there yet?) A more important character than Poe so far, and better developed. He has a back story that makes you think of soldiers with PTSD where Poe we’re supposed to take on trust is an amazing pilot without it being subtly rendered. It’s a bit fishy.

    Considering Luke appears to be holding some weird object, and the praetorian guards are wielding some cool weapons, I’m surprised this article is focusing on porglets.

    The Jawas made sense. Binks was at least a character of sorts, even if unliked, carrying part of the story. What conversation went on to get these porgs in the film though, what was the wording? Would Rhian Johnson invent such a thing for sound literary reasons or was he forcefully visited by someone in RayBans from Disney, carrying a finger in a box? BB8 didn’t annoy me at all in the end as I thought he would, but I’m hoping to be able to watch my VIII DVD more than once without knotting my middle-aged forehead further.

      But Porgs are based on the real birds on the island. So I don’t believe they’re useless… They are in fact a real part of that world.
